Patti,

I understand your problem. All I can offer you - is what has worked

for Ken.

After losing his job and being forced to

rely on us for most of his bills, meds and support, Ken was so down that we

worried and wondered if he would ever make it. I spoke to his doctor about Ken’s

problems and he came up with what can only be described as a miracle. Celexa (try 40 mg) Ken changed over night

– the difference was black & white. He cleaned his house, did yard work,

tried new recipes, taught his dogs new tricks and

started hunting and fishing again. Ken

actually laughs out loud! He hugs

and kisses us every time he sees us and we are amazed and so thankful for this little

pill. I’m sure you can get

Mike to take it, if you think he won’t, tell him it’s another

vitamin or put it in his food – whatever it takes. Please talk to his doctor and see if

this is an option for Mike.

Hoping for the best,

Barb

Patti,

I'm sorry to hear how bad things have gotten with Mike's depression. My doctor absolutely insisted that I go to counseling for my depression. I have gone for two sessions so far and am committed to going until everyone (myself included) thinks I'm coping better.

Talk to his doctor and see what he suggests. I can't imagine how difficult it is from the other end. I do feel guilt for how much extra Logan has to do. My prayers are with you.

Wish I could do more,

Hi Folks,

My problem is, or should I say, his problem, is his mental status, it's like an emotional shutdown not a physical one. He is shutting me totally out and then tells me that I am not there for him. Is the way he feels normal? thanks.

Hi Patti,

My heart goes out to you. I recognize all too well what you and Mike are going

through. Mike made a very good point that you should see a therapist. This is

a helpful suggestion. If he's not interested in seeking help, at least you can

get

help with how you deal with the situation.

Both Caroline and I saw therapists at different times during the run up to my

tx.

I think it would be helpful for both of you to see someone to discuss things. I

encouraged Mike to do that when we met last year. At the time he felt things

were going well and he wasn't interested. Hopefully he'll change his mind

and see someone soon.

Aubrey
